The diurnal variation of the tropospheric temperature on one day in August 1998 at the tropical station Gadanki(13. 5° N, 79. 2° E) has been studied using the MST radar technique. The diurnal variation of the temperature revealed a prominent diurnal variation with the peak in the afternoon hours increasingly delayed in altitude. The tropopause temperature and altitude exhibited a clear diurnal cycle. 1, record 5, English, - tropospheric%20temperature

Normalement, les stations canadiennes constatent que l'ozone atteint son épaisseur maximale en mars (moyenne tenant compte de facteurs climatologiques), après quoi elle s'appauvrit tout au long du printemps et de l'été, pour atteindre son niveau le plus bas en octobre. Ce cycle est attribuable à des phénomènes atmosphériques à grande échelle. On enregistre également des variations locales bien plus rapides au cours d'une même journée, à la suite de changements dans les variables météorologiques, comme le vent, les configurations de pression, les températures troposphériques et stratosphériques ainsi que la hauteur de la tropopause. 3, record 5, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20troposph%C3%A9rique
